Been awhile since I actually came here and wrote anything so thought I’d ease into it today cause next week is gonna, well, be a bit busier.
I spend a lot of time with photoshop. Learning, playing and creating so I have over the last couple of years accumulated more than a few links to some pretty cool stuff.
Now, as a former commercial photgrapher, leaving the dark room behind, not having to actually load film into holders and camera backs it’s been a bit strange. I like film. Though finding it is getting harder and harder and setting up a darkroom and sniffing all the developers and stop baths can’t be that healthy.
I’m finally making the move to digital, though somewhat hesitantly. What I’ve found is it’s pretty incredible what you can do with Photoshop. Not only retouching your photos but creating backgrounds, images etc for your websites as well as some cool effects that were only possible with spending hours in the darkroom and going through more than a few sheets of paper.
So what I thought I’d do is pop in some of my fav spots to get photoshop info tutorials, tips, and general cool stuff..
Here we go.
